My collection so far...
I'm aiming to (eventually) collect all original 151 in an IR/SIR graded in ACE 9 or above (would love all 10s, but... Money...) a few that I sent off have come back 8s so need to build the desire to get more to send off.
Hope you like, can share more pics if anyone is interested. Any I'm missing at the moment? (Have a gyarados and the new Chinese Ponyta waiting for grading to open back up and waiting to pull the trigger on the Paldean Magikarp)

Square cut Trevenant from Chaos Rising
Just thought it was interesting :) makes it feel like a Topps card (at least on one side)

Chaos Rising pulls (from 12 packs)
LCS (in the UK) had Chaos Rising today, wife and I bought 6 packs each. This was our combined pulls. Not bad, not great. Like the IRs and my daughter will love the Cinccino (I like it too, but I won't get to keep it)

Took the kids to a soft play today and thought I'd use that time to go and hunt for some cards. The wife and I wanted to open some packs. I went to 10 places (Thanet, Kent) huge Sainsbury's, huge Tesco, huge Asda, sports direct/game, card factory, Currys, Waterstones, local LCS (happened to be closed) and then Smyths. All I managed to find was a 30th anniversary 3 pack with the Pikachu promo.
Grateful to get anything at all, but this is just ridiculous! So many places and essentially nothing to show for it, makes me sad, I don't want to buy to sell, I just want to open packs with my wife and daughter.
Luckily the packs were good! 2 Phantasmal, we got the Charizard X ex full art (not the huge hit, but still good) and the meowth which is one of the best IRs ever and a great addition to my cat page in the binder.
Anyway, rant over I guess, it's just getting me down that it's just not possible.
